I have lost the ability to accessorise... Help!

Just thinking about Christmas party etc. I have a nice black dress, short, cotton, fitted- very nice but very plain. Anyway I usually wear it with black tights and black ankle boots (lovely Sam Edelman ones) but I've just realised how boring that sounds... I wore a pink scarf with it recently but scarfs aren't stylish, are they?

I was thinking some red would be nice, as its Christmas and all... And I have my eye on a nice red necklace.,, but what else do I do to spruce it up and look less boring? I had a google for a silky red scarf or a little red cardi and couldn't see any/many of that sort of thing which makes me think I'm obviously completely out of style and I need to look for something else. But what??!

I suppose red shoes, but I do like black opaque tights and boots- is that really frumpy too?

I'm size 12, minimal norkage, bit of a tummy but spanx fixes a good bit of that!

Or perhaps... Is it the LBD itself that isn't stylish?!

scarfs are in - google pinterest re diff ways to tie. Black tights and shooties can tart it up + sequins/beads. Not liking red -altho it is xmas.

Black opaques and bright red shoes would look fab, IMO

I'd go for bling - silver and diamonds. Big bracelet/necklace, earrings and a fabulous clutch.

Thank you. Have spent a pleasant afternoon browsing accessories but still no purchases!
